Does anyone need a house sitter for a month in late summer?

Recommended Posts

My Husband and I are about to start renovations on our house in Nunhead and need to move out for 4 - 6 weeks whilst this is done. Ideally we would like to remain very local so we can keep an eye on the builders daily. We were looking to house sit for someone away in the summer with perhaps pets to look after.


Not sure if the EDF is the right place to look for this but thought it was worth a try. If anyone has suggestions for other websites that would be good for this type of search please do let us know. Or if there are any good value short term room lets then we would consider.


We are both professionals, clean & tidy and respectful of other's space.


Many thanks!

Hi there,

This is a little bit of a long shot but I thought that I should run it past you anyhow. This is a very similar story to that which the other lady Tess has.

Tullia (Italian) and I own a tiny flat in Peckham. Starting from next week we have a builder coming along to start

some work. This work should last about two months. We are a professional couple aged late 40's. I am a Chartered Engineer and Tullia is an Industrial Designer with three degrees from Venice University.

We are looking for a room for that length of time and probably just for the week day.

We are clean and tidy, run an immaculate household and have a very quiet lifestyle.

I just wondered whether you might consider us ?

If you would like to then I am always reachable on my mobile telephone (07779423847)or if you would rather then I could call you.

Thank you for your attention.

Best wishes James & Tullia

    • I sometimes don't feel as comfortable as I did but it's not because I'm older, it's because I'm sober. Staggering home when I was younger I always felt I like a had a cloak of invisibility around me. And a magic compass - not even sure how I found my way home some nights. 
    • I'm London born and bred and have always considered myself streetwise having grown up in Notting hill (pre getrification) and I lived on the border of Harlesden (kensal green) in the 90's  when it was pretty sketchy round there .and I spent much of the 80's and early 90's in downtown New York.. I would walk everywhere at all hours of the day and night and never felt particularly uneasy largely because I was always mindful of my surroundings and walked with 'purpose'. I don't know wether its because I'm now so much older but I don't feel as comfortable as I used to walking round London. Today I was in the West end and I made sure to carry my bag on the opposite arm to that facing the kerb and felt uneasy when I saw people wizzing around on limebikes or scooters close to the kerb..I never got my phone out at all...I never used to feel like this but just recently I've had friends witness phone and bag snatching in central london in broad daylight..apparently it happened so fast in both instances there was nothing anyone could do to help..One phone snatching was during the tube strike 7.30am two guys on bikes grabbed a mans phone..My friend took the victim to a nearby hotel to sit down and recover the hotel said due to the tube strike they had witnessed many duo's of youth out very early on bikes aware that there were more pedestrians around at that time with their phones out trying for Ubers or looking at directions. I would'nt say I feel 'unsafe' I just feel more aware of being a possible target for crime than formerly. I don't know if this is due to being older or due to reading the press.
